Question

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 0px 5px 0px 5px;
  margin: 0px;
}

ul li {
  border-bottom: 1px solid #B9D3EE;
}

ul li a:link,
ul li a:visited,
ul li a:active {
  width: 100%;
  color: blue;
}

ul li a: hover {
  width: 100%;
  color: #ffffff;
  background-color: #B9D3EE;
}

In IE the above code will highlight the complete cell when hovered.
But in FF it will only highlight the link that is within it.
I would like FF to highlight the complete cell as IE does.

Here is the list:
Keep in mind that only the first link has been created because I have just started creating this list and stopped to test it when I noticed this problem.

<ul>
  <li><a href="">beauty</a></li>
  <li>creative</li>
  <li>Info Tech. (IT)</li>
  <li>cycle</li>
  <li>event</li>
  <li>financial</li>
  <li>legal</li>
  <li>lessons</li>
  <li>medical</li>
  <li>marine</li>
  <li>pet</li>
  <li>automotive</li>
  <li>farm+garden</li>
  <li>household</li>
  <li>labor/move</li>
  <li>MKT/COMM</li>
  <li>office</li>
  <li>skill'd trade</li>
  <li>real estate</li>
  <li>health/wellness</li>
  <li>travel/vac</li>
  <li>write/ed/tr8</li>
</ul>

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi now remove with 100% in your anchor link css and define display block in you css in anchor

as like this

ul li a: link,
ul li a: visited,
ul li a: active {

display:block; // add this line
width:100%; // remove this line

  color: blue
}

ul li a:hover{
width:100%; //remove this line
  color: #ffffff;
  background-color: #B9D3EE;
}
